"We launched Google Reader in 2005 in an effort to make it easy for people to discover and keep tabs on their favorite websites. While the product has a loyal following, over the years usage has declined. So, on July 1, 2013, we will retire Google Reader. Users and developers interested in RSS alternatives can export their data, including their subscriptions, with Google Takeout over the course of the next four months." This makes me very, very sad. Any good alternatives - alternatives with Windows Phone and Metro applications, that is?

I've been a huge fan of Google Reader for years. I usually start every morning with my coffee and Google Reader. It's really the only Google service that kept me using Google all these years. Oh well, what can you do? It was free after all.

Life goes on. I've tried using Pulse, but didn't like the format. Has anyone tried Feedly? It has an Android app as well and seems to be a good alternative.
